Brady started this game so this technically would be the Falcons first win vs Brady.

Postscript: if the Falcons had won this game, and if all other NFL results stayed the same the rest of the season, the Falcons would be NFC South champions. https://t.co/w4XfNFFPUh

Arthur Smith is a loser for sticking with Mariota for so long

Falcons beat Brady, got better draft position by finishing last in the NFC south, and by that they also got the last place schedule for next year. What a day. #DirtyBirds

Best possible result for the Falcons today. They won, and they also get a last place schedule for 2023.

Ridder better be the starter next season

Don’t care what it does for the #Falcons draft, always good to end the season on a high note. Young talent on this team, excited for the future.

Ain’t fell this good after a falcons game in a while. Future is bright for that offense. RiseUp🕺🏾❤️🖤

Ridder showed a lot in his four games, got better each game. Also doesn't mean he was ready to play before he did… https://t.co/2iecWfpRiy

Ridder looked like a legit NFL QB throwing the ball today. He made some great passes today. He didn’t throw a pick in all 4 starts.
